The Flying Avocado

[JTBoh]

This was a fun job - first time we've done mixed media work with multiple layers. 3 layers deep, 1st is only an oval, 2nd is the inner oval, and third is the avocado and the banner. Put additional support under the banner and avocado.

We used gloss vinyl with lam for the graphics, joined the ovals with screws, and VHB'ed the avocado and the banner to the ovals.

Handpainted the letters with a matte latex, laid on extra thick on the faces, and then used a cut up brush to give it a wood grain texture, hard to see in the photos. Applied with more vhb (love dat stuff).

Adjusted the lights, and voila.

That is awesome! I enjoy seeing all these sign layouts lately they are truly awesome when you get them out of "proof" mode and see the final product. Great job!

Extremely attractive sign.

What’s the thinking behind the back-to-front V in AVOCADO?
